the French flag is the official French pavilion since 1794. It was drawn by Jacques Louis David, famous French painter, but it has its origins in July 1789. Shortly after the fall of the Bastille, the king visited the Paris town hall and was handed a blue and red cocard - the colours of the town - which he put on his hat next to the white cocard (French royalty emblem at the time), as a gesture towards the people of Paris. The white flag replaced the three-colour flag in 1814-1815, and from 1815 to 1830, during the two first periods when the monarchy was reinstated.

And by the way, it is designed as blue to the mast, white, red.

France and Spain are both members of the EU. They enjoy a good relationship.

Historically, France had good relations with most of the Iberian States until Castille and Aragon united to become Spain. Spain's policies became especially antagonistic towards France in the 1500s and 1600s. In the War of Spanish Succession in the early 1700s, the French success in establishing the Bourbon Dynasty in Spain promoted better French-Spanish relations. These were upset in the early 1800s with the Napoleonic Wars, but reset to neutral after the Congress of Vienna. Spain was neutral and pro-Axis neutral in the World Wars in contrast to France's Ally Status in both. With the Cold War and the formation of the European Union, France and Spain have become relatively strong allies.

Several countries used or currently use currency denominated in francs.

If you're referring to French or Belgian francs, they were withdrawn from circulation in 2002 when the euro was introduced so it's difficult to make a comparison to the current USD. At that time the French franc was worth about 22¢ and the Belgian franc was worth about 2¢.

If you're referring to Swiss francs, they're still in use. However exchange rates change every day so any answer posted here would be out of date almost immediately.

The French Revolution was more violent than the American Revolution because it was a more typical revolution that pitted classes of people against each other. In France the poorer folks had been shouldering the burden for their rich noblemen and King for hundreds of years. When it came time to finally oust those on power these poor French radicals had a lot of pent up anger and frustration that came out in revenge. Also, Since this class of people were not use to governing themselves at all they made many mistakes and were led astray by many more people who just wanted to take over the job of ruling them once the old order was cast off.

It actually took aver 50 years for the French Government to finally stabilize in any sort of effective democratic rule. As history shows us there were a few years of terror followed by several years of another dictator before the French people finally figured out how self government should work.

The difference in the American revolution was that it was not class warfare and the folks who led the Revolution had had several Decades of self ruling experience before the Revolution occurred. It was not a case of unruly people having to find a way to cast off there oppressive rulers. Instead it was a group of people who had already been governing themselves rebelling against new policies from the English government that were trying to take self government away from them.
